The Tragic Cost...

Kurt Philip Behm

The genius of Robin Williams,

the prescience of Harry Nilsson

The magic of Brian Wilson,

the artistry of Nina Simone

Celebrity robbed them of their greatest gift,

the most treasured one of all

To live at peace within themselves

—a normal life recalled

    Kurt,

    Thank you for remembering some of the best in this memorable poem. I donā€™t know much about Harry Nilsson, but I will definitely do some research and educate myself. Your written work certainly lends itself to that.

    P.S.- Just learned the sad news about the passing of Meatloaf and Louie Anderson. I became a fan of Meatloaf a few years ago.

    Thanks Laura, do check Harry out. He almost became
    the 5th Beatle.
